[17/02, 07:44] Meta AI: மோலியப்பள்ளி கிராமத்தில் உள்ள ஸ்ரீ மகா மாரியம்மன் கோவிலில் திருவிழா நடத்துவதில் தகராறு ஏற்பட்டதால், நீதிபதி ஏ.டி.ஜகதீஷ் சந்திரா, ஹிந்து சமய அறநிலையத் துறை ஆய்வாளர் விழாவை நடத்த வேண்டும் என உத்தரவிட்டார். விழா ஒத்துழைப்பு இல்லாமல் நடக்காது என்று போட்டியில் ஈடுபடும் குழுக்கள் கூறியதைக் கேட்ட நீதிபதி, “விழா நடத்த முடியாவிட்டால் வேண்டாம்” என்று கூறினார். ஆனால், பிப்ரவரி 17-ம் தேதி விழா நடக்க இருப்பதால், ஹிந்து சமய அறநிலையத் துறை ஆய்வாளர் விழாவை நடத்த வேண்டும் என்று உத்தரவிட்டார். ¹

இந்த வழக்கில், மனுதாரர் தனது கோவில் தனியாருக்கு சொந்தமானது என்றும், அவரது குடும்பத்தினர் பல ஆண்டுகளாக விழாவை நடத்தி வருவதாகவும் கூறினார். ஆனால், மற்ற குழுக்கள் இதை மறுத்து, தாங்களும் கோவிலை நிர்வகிப்பதாக கூறினர்.

இந்த வழக்கு தொடர்பாக உங்களுக்கு மேலும் தகவல்கள் தேவையா? அல்லது ஹிந்து சமய அறநிலையத் துறையின் பங்கு குறித்து அறிய விரும்புகிறீர்களா?
